Stars and Stories is an award-winning tech platform delivering authentic online reviews for the biggest brands. It all started with an entrepreneur, a vision, and a market eager for a game-changing concept. Our premise is to deliver authentic online reviews powered by big data and artificial intelligence.

Our company culture is characterized by the ability to look forward. This is why we strive to attract as many bright-minded people who cohere with this philosophy. We advocate diversity within our company, this is why our team consists out of a dazzling 14 nationalities. On top of this, we have adapted our organizational structure to the Covid-19 pandemic by stimulating a hybrid way of working, which has been implemented successfully within our company culture. We maintain a flat organizational structure, in which ownership and personal responsibility are key.
